Phoenix Coldon, a junior at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, has been missing since Dec. 18, 2011. Phoenix was last seen in the driveway of the family's home at about 3 p.m.

The Coldon family lost their life savings and their home because of a cruel hoax that led to a false lead in the disappearance of their daughter.

THE disappearance of Warwick grandmother Gail Lynch is now being treated as a murder investigation.
Police are searching for her ex-boyfriend who they say is a 'person of interest' in the investigation.

You'd think that QPS would have kept this former boyfriend under surveillance or at the very least, he would have checked in with police to learn how their investigation going. I just hope that Gail is found soon.

My thoughts are with her family. It must be absolutely horrifying to be in their position right now.

I am surprised as he seemed to be POI, that a close eye was not being kept on his movements.. how frustrating.

This makes me feel sick. What is it with people who murder? I reckon we need to focus more on anger management - ALL of us. Make a huge thing of it - like obesity or any other disease prevention. Peace has to start within each of us. What we need is another good hippy era - peace and love, man.

POLICE are now treating the case of missing woman Gail Lynch as a homicide investigation.
Detective Inspector Darren Shadlow announced the development today.

Ms Lynch's Internet boyfriend Ian Hannaford, 58, was found last night in bushland in Toowoomba.

Det Insp Shadlow said the main person of interest, Mr Hannaford, has not yet been interviewed since he was found on Thursday night by security guards doing their nightly rounds at Picnic Point area in Toowoomba.

"They located a male person in the toilet block in that area," he said.

"That male person did have some injuries to him, the Queensland Ambulance Service was called as was the Queensland Police Service."

Det Insp Shadlow said he does have numerous cuts on him and it could be days until he is formally interviewed by police

He said Mr Hannaford has "been living rough" and a small campsite was found in the area he was discovered and believed to be where he had been living for days.

Thanks Marlywings. I heard this on the radio - ABC. I can't imagine how IH managed to hide in the bush for so long. It would have been awfully cold. On the report I heard that he was only semi-conscious when found and will not be interviewed today.

Just hope he confesses and Gail is found, for the family's sake.

Perfect Stranger: A true story of desire and obsession by Kay Schubach in Sydney

IAN Hannaford has been charged with the murder of his ex-partner, Warwick woman Gail Lynch.

Hannaford reportedly hid from police in bushland at Picnic Point Park in Toowoomba and police believe he may have been there since July 11, when they last spoke with him.

A security guard discovered an injured, semi-conscious Hannaford in a toilet block in the park about 8.30pm on Thursday.

Detective Inspector Darrin Shadlow said police found a makeshift campsite under a concrete lookout without any blankets and with only a few food scraps.

"We believe he has been there for some days, with evidence of foodstuffs there but little else," Det Insp Shadlow said.

Hannaford was taken to Toowoomba Base Hospital that night to be treated for dehydration and exposure and was released into police custody yesterday afternoon, only to be met with a set of handcuffs and a murder charge.

Police and search crews scoured the Picnic Point Park area in search of Gail Lynch's body or any other clues that could indicate her whereabouts.

Thanks Makara, I just heard it on ABC TV. You gotta hand it to the police. They've done a very thorough job. I just hope he pleads guilty and tells the family where Gail is.

A plea to everyone - if you are angry, go get help. This could potentially save yourself and others a lot of heartache.

This is such a sad case BN. I just want to know why, what went wrong? Apparently Gail and Hannaford were no longer in a relationship but why did he have to murder her? Hopefully Gail's body will be found soon and her family can lay her to rest with dignity.
